Fantastic stay at The Island Concept. Food, staff and atmosphere all first class. The only thing that let it down was a miscommunication and high charge for late check out (despite nobody moving into our room until the following day). Not enough to ruin a great stay however and we would highly reccomend.

Clean, New, Private
The property is new, clean, and quite small. It almost a private and exclusive feel to it. Our deluxe room had a great view of the bay and was clean and modern with a spacious tile bathroom. The pool is large and heated and there's also a private beach. The hotel is located very close to Agios Nikolaos, although due to logistics, it's required to take a car to get there. The town is laid-back, but has a lot of restarants and shopping.

The staff at this property are incredible, they are attentive and enthusiastic while being respective of your privacy/space. The facilities (and toiletries) are outstanding and constantly monitored. We gather it hasn’t been open long so there may be some processes/aspects to improve; the restaurant menu is v limited and the private hot tubs are freezing cold, however the overall experience was wonderful. Views are exquisite. Thank you to you all once again.

Small fantastic location right over the sea with a small private beach, excellent on every aspect, from the architecture to the furniture, excellent restaurant and breakfast but above all fantastic personnel, very friendly, present but not invasive, ready for every need. Definetely one of the best places I've been in the recent years. Special mention for the bartender Vangelis and high - standard drinks.

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub im Island Concept. Es ist ein wunderschönes, kleines Hotel. Egal ob Zimmer, Pool oder der private Strand, alles ist super schön und ruhig. Das gesamte Hotel lässt nichts zu wünschen übrig und ist einfach ein Traum. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch das sehr freundliche Personal. Alle sind wahnsinnig nett und zuvorkommend. Ein Ort an dem man sich rundum wohl fühlen und erholen kann.
